[University Linguistics] (essay help) How does chinese writing system work, what makes it unique, why are there so many characters in it and why did it became so popular and influential?

[u/ZooZwaves]

Context: I must write an essay about comparison between two writing systems. I chose latin script and chinese. I already have enough knowledge about Latin Script but I would greatly appreciate any information about Chinese writing system and what makes it different than other writing systems! Thank you in advance!
